Report Summary
Date Reported	15th December 2004
Apparent Sender	IF
Return Address	www.if.com < custsupport@if.com >
Subject	Intelligent Finance Security Update
Format	HTML
Method	Spoof email links to a spoof webpage where victim is prompted to enter their details believing the site is genuine. Details are then forwarded to a local script and captured.
Bogus Web Content?	Yes
URL of web content	http://12.222.205.109/?eaiz7qcogwvy
RISK LEVEL	MEDIUM
WARNINGS	1. Email claims to be from IF asking you to confirm your account data by clicking on the link. You will be taken to a spoof login page where your details will be captured by the phishers. 2. IF never send users emails requesting details in this way. 3. The first IF scam I've seen for a while, and likely to be an indicator of more to come, so be alert!

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
